Your Money: How To Discuss The Topic That's More Taboo Than Sex, Mental Health And Politics
In an era of unprecedented openness and ease of communications, where even the most controversial subjects can find their time in the limelight, there's one subject that remains perplexingly taboo: Money. So much so, in fact, that a recent study demonstrated that Americans were twice as likely to feel comfortable discussing subjects such as drug use, mental illness, or marital difficulties than have a conversation about their household income or debt.This long-standing aversion to discussing money can cause us to miss out on essential conversations, information, and joint decision-making processes that can benefit our finances and reduce stress and worry regarding our finances. It can also engender unrealistic expectations about money; deprive us of support and advice from trusted friends and family; and cause us to avoid learning more about managing our finances.More from Invest in You:How much do you know about retirement planning?
